		In ethics, cognitivism is the philosophical view that ethical sentences express propositions, and hence are capable of being true or false.
		More generally, cognitivism with respect to any area of discourse is the position that sentences used in that discourse are cognitive, that is, are meaningful and capable of being true or false.
		In psychology, anecdotal cognitivism is a methodology for interpreting animal behavior in terms of mental states, comparable to the mental states of humans.

	Buddhism and Cognitivism
		Cognitivism marginalises emotion as one of a number of factors that are somehow outside of cognition proper, that is, not necessary parts of it but rather optional adjuncts to it To consider these factors at the same time would be to obscure the rational foundations of cognition.
		Cognitivism's treatment of emotion is predominantly concerned with its rational precursors and how it functions as an adjunct to processes such as attention, decision making or memory.
		Cognitivism's computational theory or the fundamental material grain of reality that was the grail of classical physics are chimerical objectives for science, since they correspond to nothing in reality.

	Moral Cognitivism vs. Non-Cognitivism
		Cognitivists think that moral sentences are apt for truth or falsity, and that the state of mind of accepting a moral judgement is typically one of belief or at least that the terms are apt for expressing beliefs.
		Nondescriptivist cognitivism spurns psychological non-cognitivism, but embraces semantic nonfactualism, at least insofar as it rejects the claim that moral sentences describe the world or predicate genuine properties.
		Perhaps the distinction between cognitivism and non-cognitivism collapses as non-cognitivist theories are modified to capture all of the phenomena that cognitivists challenge them to explain.

	Cognitivism
		For cognitivism, a response is 'significant' only in that it is a sign that some cerebral or mental event has occurred and produced it, that is, the response is taken as an "operational definition" of the unobserved concept.
		Cognitivism, rooted in folk-psychology, is the study of behavior through the mediation of language, and not the study of behaving, what all organisms do, and what we humans say and write.
		Cognitivism, pursuing a different methodology and based on folk-psychological, 'ordinary language,' 'common sense,' concepts, is nearing the end of its course.

		Cognitivism refers to a class of learning theories that are based on some sort of rational information processing model of the human mind.
		The cognitivistic school "went inside the head of the learner" so to speak in that they made mental processes the primary object of study and tried to discover and model the mental processes on the part of the learner during the learning-process.
		Cognitivism and some variants of constructivism adopt a rationalist stance, i.e.

	A Case for Cognitivism
		This concept of intentional action played an important role in cognitivism's earliest break with behaviorism (Miller, Galanter, and Pribram 1960), and it remains in force within the rational-agent theories I shall consider further on.
		The explicitly constructivist premise of cognitivism thus calls attention to the need of any naturalistic psychology to presuppose some basic (thought not raw or unmediated) data, as well as some fundamental assumptions and principles that guide human perception and thought.
		Cognitivism can look like such a Big Theory, but it is not; move down even a notch from my broad survey and you will find that sharply distinct explanatory models crystallize around particular questions.

	Methodological individualism and cognitivism
		This double contrast determines four ways in which one might choose to be at the same time a methodological individualist and a cognitivist in the social sciences.
		Cognitivism in the weak sense is the rather trivial acknowledgment that cognitive phenomena may play a role in the explanation of social facts.
		Cognitivism in the strong sense is the adoption of the mechanistic and naturalistic programme of cognitive sciences.

	Small on Cognitivism
		Cognitivism carries a remarkable sense of promise (and promises a remarkable sense of controversy) that should energize film theory and film theorists in the years ahead.
		It went from a linguistic model to a political model built upon a linguistic model, to cognitivism's promise of a model based upon perception and cognition.
		For example, cognitivism does not seem to seek or need distinction between actual objects and photographic (cum cinematographic/videographic) surrogates of those objects.

	COGNITION AS EVENTS AND AS PSYCHIC CONSTRUCTIONS
		What Cognitivism basically signifies is that such activities as perceiving, thinking, reasoning, and so on comprise some sort of transcendent internal entity or process not amenable to observation.
		Cognitivism appeared, too, as a rival to Behaviorism for recognition as a general type of psychology.
		Its proponents assumed that conditioning as a method for modifying the gross behavior of infrahuman organisms, much as it might serve as a naturalistic procedure for the development of some type of psychological behavior, cou!d not be accepted as the exclusive model for describing and interpreting everything in the psychological domain.

	Buddhism and cognitivism: A postmodern appraisal
		It is this effort after a unified formal theory that shows the degree to which cognitivism inherits the positivist programme of modernist science.
		Buddhist Texts and Cognitivism Although Buddhism and cognitivism are situated within different cultural and metaphysical frameworks, both deal with the workings of the mind, the mind-body relationship and the nature of human action.
		A clear position on this issue is taken by Lazarus who suggests that cognitive interpretation is necessarily and always involved in emotional responses and that, as he puts it, "cognitive appraisal (of meaning or significance) underlies and is an integral feature of all emotional states".

	Moral Realism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		The traditional areas of disagreement between the realist camp and the antirealist camp are cognitivism, descriptivism, moral truth, moral knowledge, and moral objectivity.
		Cognitivism, the view that moral judgments are cognitive states like ordinary beliefs (with its two corollaries, namely, descriptivism and their truth-aptness), could facilitate the realist/antirealist debate, but cognitivism alone is not sufficient in facilitating the discussion, not solely in its terms anyway.
		The same may be said of the quasi-realistic understanding of moral judgments: for example, the quasi-realist might be entitled to cognitivism when it comes to moral judgments, descriptivism when it comes to moral language, moral truth, moral knowledge, and the quasi-realist perhaps may even be entitled to moral objectivity.

	Cognitivism & Psychologism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cognitivism and psychologism are epistemological views that imply the study of knowledge or science through studying cognitive mechanisms in individuals.
		Cognitivism and psychologism comprehend, for example, logic and philosophy as parts of psychology.
		While cognitivism and psychologism is seldom in philosophy of science and science studies, it seems to be rather widespread in Information Science, for example, in relevance research.

	Cartesian Cognitivism and Its Discontents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Despite more than a decade of effort at solving the methodological problems of the field, the only theme that seemed to unite different authors was the litany of the now-familiar concerns: (1) cross-cultural psychology is methodologically problematic; (2) the weakness of its theories stems from the ambiguous significance of its data.
		Cartesian cognitivism is incapable of appreciating the way in which culture and mind are tied together and interpenetrate one another.
		What is broken apart in Cartesian cognitivism is brought back together in the cultural-historical approach both by focusing on the unified nature of mental coordination and by the dual nature of artifacts which mediate mental functioning.

	Reading in the dark: cognitivism, Film Theory, and radical interpretation Style - Find Articles
		Along with David Bordwell and others, Carroll has dubbed the stance on which this view is based "cognitivism," and the lucid, philosophically aware works in which this stance is increasingly finding a home make a much better case for the distinction between film and literature than earlier theorists had made.
		As powerful as their criticisms of contemporary theory are, however, and as subtle and nuanced as their own theories can be, the cognitivists' philosophical distinction between watching a film and reading a literary text remains problematic.
		But before we can see the value of radical interpretation for film theory, we must fir st examine the sources of its philosophical differences with cognitivism, and for that we must turn to the philosophical context from which it emerged.

	David Bordwell - A Case for Cognitivism
		The two senses of intentionality I have considered can be related: in describing an action as intentional (purposive, rational, or whatever) we may may ascribe to it mental states that have intentionality (that is, semantic content).
		The explicitly constructivist premise of cognitivism thus calls attention to the need of any naturalistic psychology to presuppose some basic (though not raw or unmediated) data, as well as some fundamental assumptions and principles that guide human perception and thought.
		Cognitivism can look like such a Big Theory (though I think it's not); and the foregoing account may have erred in evoking an upcoming string of main events in which Cognitivism will lick current champs.

	Skeptical Cognitivism
		There is, however a third more truly skeptical cognitivism which is nevertheless not anti-realist in regards to evidence independent, moral facts.
		I shall take it that the first relevant distinction between advocacy in meta-ethics generally revolves around the dispute of cognitivism vs. non-cognitivism.
		Confusion may be avoided by relying on this conception of cognitivism.

	Non-Cognitivism in Ethics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Another fundamental notion to understand is considering the difference between cognitivism and non-cognitivism concerns a linguistic difference between language and meta-language.
		On the contrary, if no solution to the problem is provided, the only option left open to moral reasoning is cognitivism or excluding ethics into the realm of rationality (likewise radical forms of emotivism such as Ayer).
		On the contrary, a negative one would show that the only option for rationalism in ethics is cognitivism or -- in the worst case scenario -- to irrationality and ethical nihilism.

	Cognitivism
		Cognitivism has its roots in cognitive psychology and Information Processing Theory.
		Information Processing Theory emphasizes the identification of the internal processes of learning and concentrates on how the learner comes to know rather than respond in an instructional situation.
		The above events can be translated into specific instructional tactics that can be implemented in any teaching-learning environment in order to efficiently and effectively achieve the desired performance or learning outcome.

	Amazon.com: The Mind's Provisions: A Critique of Cognitivism: Books: Vincent Descombes,Stephen Adam Schwartz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Beginning with a critical examination of American cognitivism and French structuralism, Descombes launches a more general critique of all philosophies that view the mind in strictly causal terms and suppose that the brain--and not the person--thinks.
		He identifies as incoherent both the belief that mental states are detached from the world and the idea that states of mind are brain states; these assumptions beg the question of the relation between mind and brain.
		Drawing on Wittgenstein, he maintains that mental acts are properly attributed to the person, not the brain, and that states of mind, far from being detached from the world, require a historical and cultural context for their very intelligibility.

	Bredo / COGNITIVISM, SITUATED COGNITION, AND DEWEYIAN PRAGMATISM
		One of the weightiest problems with which the philosophy of education has to cope is the method of keeping a proper balance between the informal and the formal, the incidental and the intentional, modes of education.
		Thus conceived, a situated approach can be seen as a species of pluralism (Dewey, 1958) rather than a monism (like behaviorism) or a dualism (like cognitivism) because there are many emergent ways in which things are defined or constituted as useful in different situations.
		Yet difficulties with the approach would vanish if it were seen as simply an attempt to model human capabilities on the computer so as to better understand them.

	Cognitivism
		By observing the responses that individuals make to different stimulus conditions, cognitivists believe that they can draw inferences about the nature of the internal cognitive processes that produce those responses.
		Many ideas and assumptions of cognitivism can be traced back to the early decades of the twentieth century.
		Of all theories, the theories of Jean Piaget of Switzerland are the ones that have provided psychology with very elaborated account of developmental changes in cognitive abilities.

	How to Stand Up for Noncognitivists
		The same is said to apply to cognitivism about other topics--conditionals, for example--for the argument depends only on the fact that ordinary usage applies the notions of truth and falsity to utterances of the kind in question.
		Given this much, minimalism about truth is said to leave no room for the view that the utterances concerned are non-cognitive in nature.
		We want to show that with a proper understanding of what is essential to non-cognitivism, the position turns out to be largely untouched by the adoption of any of a range of minimalist views about truth.
